First one of these, definitely enjoyable, a little tough to justify $140 though. Tannic at first, 3 hours later it really came around. Fruit-forward, well balanced, crisp.

An explosive perfume stuffed with flowers, oak, chocoalte, licorice, vanilla, blackberry, black cherry and blueberry is found with little effort. Plush, round and rich, this concentrated, opulent wine ends with a long, rich mocha and ripe berry filled finish.

We were a bit disappointed with this, thinner than expected and less depth. Bramble berries, spice, herbs; modest nose. Possible it’s a bit too old

Decanted 2 hours. Pleasant musty aromas with ripe raspberry, licorice, and oak. Soft tannins blend nicely.

A tinge of cork on the nose, but the wine was smooth and balanced. Plenty of life left and will keep improving for a while.

Outstanding. A great example of Napa cab. Persistent, delicious finish. A little expensive but if you can afford it, would recommend
